I am an aspiring writer from Australia and am currently in the process of completing my first novel.

Background
Information

Born in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia I grew up always with a love of literature, something that I credit my grandfather on my mothers side.

His formal education was limited and he always credited everything he learnt in life from experience and reading! I can never remember a time where I didn't see him with his nose buried in a book when I walked into his house. This continued to his death in 1991.

My first novel is dedicated to him and his memory, in thanks for the joy I have found in reading and writing, which without him I would never have found!

I have now posted the complete PART ONE of my novel under short stories. It has been lifted from my 1st Draft...so it is unedited so I apologise for any errors which may appear. Should anyone have trouble opening the file, please let me know.

Any comments would be most welcomed and appreciated, as would any advice.

So please feel free to leave any feedback.

Enjoy your day!
